How to be productive (when it’s hard)
Let me let you in on a little secret. These articles I write aren’t quite planned.
From Hooah to Hope
I’ve been an Army spouse for almost 22 years, and I’ve been an Army mom for a little more than 22 hours at the time of this writing.
At least that’s how long it’s been since I left my daughter to be transported from the Houston MEPS station to basic training.
Plan Your Own PCS Party
It’s officially official.
After rank ordering our list of potential 52 assignments from top down months ago, we finally know where our future will take us…
Unfortunately, and with a sigh, not any of our “top three choices” made the cut.
When You’ve Bloomed
The military decided to plant me in Mississippi back in November 2015. Plant? Why, yes. As military spouses, you may have been offered the sage advice to “bloom where you’re planted” at least once or twice before. How do you measure how much you’ve bloomed or if you’re even budding?

5 Ways to Get Ready for an Overseas Move
Have you ever known a stress-free PCS? Chances are, you haven’t. There’s so much to coordinate with any military move. You’re often consumed with making big decisions like choosing to sell or rent your current home and busy filing paperwork to transfer schools, doctors, and vets. Not to mention taking the time to research your new duty station while striving to maintain any bit of normalcy you can! And that’s with a regular PCS move. But when you’re faced with an overseas move, the chaos takes on a whole new level, and the term overwhelming becomes an understatement.
Money and Your Military Marriage
This is it.
The lights are turned down low and a few candles throw shadows across the room. A quiet, gentle tune wafts through the air. Fresh flowers are sweetly arranged in a vase on the counter. The kids are at the neighbor’s house for a sleepover. Your spouse gently brushes your cheek and pulls you close. You can feel your heartbeat in your chest as your spouse leans over and whispers quietly into your ear:
“Let’s talk about the budget, baby.”
